This BMW X7 Facelift<\/a> in Frozen Marina Bay Blue was displayed this week at the 2022 BMW Open Tennis tournament in Munich. This is also the first time that we see real life photos of the X7 LCI with the matte blue color. The top of the line BMW X7 M60i gets a few new shades as well, aside from the Marina Bay Blue: Ametrine Metallic<\/a> and Frozen Pure Grey Metallic. There are of course a ton of new Individual colors available too, including Daytona Viole<\/a>t and Ruby Red.\u00a0The BMW X7 M60i will also get an optional \u201cBMW M 50 Years\u201d emblem on the hood, tailgate and hubcaps.<\/p>\n

Bold Front End<\/h3>\n

Design wise, the BMW X7 Facelift stands out with its new split headlights. As with its 7 Series<\/a> and XM<\/a> cousins, the BMW X7 LCI will gain a new split headlight design that\u2019s entirely different from any other headlight design in the brand\u2019s history. It\u2019s a bold new design direction for a car that\u2019s already polarizing.<\/p>\n

The headlights are now split into two halves, upper and a lower. The upper half features a modern, slimmer take on the signature dual-halo BMW headlight design, by offering two slim, upside down hockey stick LEDs. They seem to act as daytime running lights, as well as turn signals, leaving the lower half to handle the main and high beams. The lower half is much bigger, due to housing the main lighting elements, and it extends into vertical air intakes in the front bumper.<\/p>\n

Refreshed Rear End<\/h3>\n

Out back, the BMW X7 LCI\u2019s taillights are nearly identical to the pre-LCI taillights, except they have a bit more depth and are darker in color. Aside from that, though, the outside of the BMW X7 LCI isn\u2019t much different than before. That\u2019s typical of a BMW LCI update, to be fair, and the X7\u2019s front end changes are probably the most radical LCI changes we\u2019ve seen in years.<\/p>\n

Split headlights aren\u2019t the only thing to debut on the BMW X7 LCI. BMW\u2019s first all-new V8 engine in ages will also first hit the scene on this new X7. It\u2019s internally known as the \u201cS68\u201d engine<\/a> and will be a proper M Division V8 that will also be used in some M Performance cars, such as the X7 M60i.<\/p>\n

New V8 TwinTurbo<\/h3>\n

More importantly, it also gains 48-volt mild-hybrid technology, with added power from an electric motor. BMW claims the 48-volt mild hybrid motor makes 12 horsepower but up to 147 lb-ft (200Nm) of torque. It\u2019s also said to aid the smoothing of auto start\/stop technology.\u00a0Total system power for the BMW X7 M60i is 530 horsepower and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. According to BMW, the M60i gets from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds.<\/p>\n

Base MSRP for the 2023 BMW X7 xDrive40i is $77,850 + $995 destination; X7 M60i $103,100 + $995 destination.\u00a0 US launch to commence in Q3 2022.<\/p>\n
